The Beatles: Help!—Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Originally released on August 13, 1965, the American edition of the soundtrack for Help! spent nine weeks at the top spot on the Billboard charts. Among the dozen tracks on the album—"Help!," "The Night Before," "From Me To You Fantasy," "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away," "I Need You," "In The Tyrol," "Another Girl," "Another Hard Day's Night," "Ticket To Ride," "The Bitter End/You Can't Do That," "You're Going To Lose That Girl," and "The Chase"—were seven songs from the film and five instrumental arrangements from the orchestral score, recorded by the George Martin Orchestra. This audio CD is part of a series of limited edition "mini LP replicas" by Capitol, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' American debut on the Ed Sullivan Show. Unlike most of the remixed and remastered Beatles music available today, it is a faithful duplication of the original U.S. version of the album—the same songs in the same order, as well as the "Americanized" sound mix—in both mono and stereo versions, for a total of 24 tracks. The CD is even packaged in a scaled-down copy of the original album cover, complete with the paper liner sleeve.
